Food Festival in Parc Jourdan This Weekend

Today sees the opening of a big new festival in the Parc Jourdan this time dedicated to food. ‘Symphonies Gourmandes’ will bring together award-winning local chefs and music to wow the Aixois over the weekend – there will be demonstrations, workshops, master-classes to help us finesse our olive-oil dégustation, or create les bouchées aperitifs, or make sushi or tartelettes citron meringues for instance.

All this will be accompanied by French jazz and classical music.

Food created by the chefs can be purchased or you can eat at what they call ‘un village de food-trucks’.
